Why does Devin Haney have 36 hours to rehydrate? Why is the weigh-in so early?

[Madison Boxing]

so he can be as big and heavy as possible to give lomachenko a bear hug every time he gets remotely close to haney

Loma deserves credit regardless of the outcome, he is fighting a middleweight tonight.

Not sure why but there you go. You have your reason for outrage and when Loma loses you can blame the early weigh in.

Loma is going to put Haney on his arse at least once in this fight.

[Gideon lock]

Are you new to boxing? That is fairly common, every other weigh in someone pushes someone

It is part and parcel but Loma has been nothing but respectful and professional (as always) haney has been coming out with all this yip yap and negative attitude for no reason seems scared to me

[PRINCEKOOL]

Done for Haney's safety? You are greatly mistaken. Bill Haney ensured his son could get as much time to pack on the pounds as possible. They know they are overmatched in sell, so they are doing everything they can to try to get the edge and advantage before the fight starts. When you have 20 pounds extra weight than the guy you're fighting, you can take more punishment because the punches are not as strong, and you can dish out more punishment with that extra weight to leverage into the attack.

I personally call it cheating. Others call it A-side privilege.

It back fires eventually, using weight draining tactics.

We have seen it time and time again, in this modern era of boxing 'Under the day before weigh in rule'.

Is it going to back fire against Haney? Has he fought one fight too many at 135 pound limit?

Maybe on Saturday night, TONIGHT the boxing World and Haney will find out.

It is a fact that any athlete who uses weight draining tactics, during fight preparation 'Will suffer from chronic long term negative effects on their conditioning'.

And the only way they can negate those effects on the conditioning, is by moving up in weight.

Note: All the points you are making are right, but using weight draining tactics also come with a trade off 'A consequence over the long term' etc.

Loma deserves credit regardless of the outcome, he is fighting a middleweight tonight.

Haney deserves credit if he beats Lomachenko. People like you believe Lomachenko is better than Ali and Mayweather. If that was the case the weight wouldn't matter considering what Mayweather did to bigger fighters. So Haney deserves a lot of credit if he wins.

Because boxing is a joke which is why nobody takes it serious

[edpboxing]

Devin can’t gain more than 10 lbs over night anyway unless he’s going to forfeit his IBF title.

IBF rehydration clause isn’t in effect according to Coppinger

[-MEGA-]

Didn’t Davis vs Garcia start an hour early too?

It's not uncommon for the real weigh in to be in tye morning,, although it's much more common at heavyweight where they don't have to make weight, the public weigh in is just for snow, the commission already took their official weight earlier in the day.

It does happen at other weights too though.

Give examples of any high profile boxing fight where this also happened.
